"today in the bay's" bob redell joining us live from the berkeley police department with the latest on this ongoing investigation. bob, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, jon. police in berkeley need your help in finding the people behind this late-night assault. what makes this crime somewhat unusual is the fact that the suspects are three teenage girls. last friday night around 9:40, they attacked and attempted to rob two adult women on the edge of the cal campus on dwight way near prospect street. victims tell police as they were walking they tried to go past

the three teens. one of those teens sprayed something in the face of one of the women, possibly pepper spray. the girls grabbed the second woman as they tried to run away, punched her in the face, knocked her to the ground, sprayed her and tried to rob her. a man who happened to be walking by stopped the robbery and scared the teens away. the women were hurt. police say suspects drove off in a white dodge charger and description of them is such that they are three african-american teenage girls. the first suspect short hair and thin build. second one, long hair and pony tail. long skirt. and third suspect braided hair, pink shirt and a jean jacket. berkeley police are asking for help if you saw anything or know who these women are to give them a call. reporting live in berkeley, bob redell, "today in the bay." a reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of someone who shot a

raccoon in south san francisco. last sunday morning a neighbor reported the injured animal on palm avenue less than a mile away from highway 101. the peninsula humane society rushed it to the wildlife center where they discovered it was shot in the head. doctors eventually had to euthanize the raccoon. >> we hear why are people doing this? we think it could be a couple scenarios. it could be kids being kids doing dumb things or adults that see animals as a nuisance and that's what they decided to do. it's just shocking. >> the peninsula humane society says this marks a dozen animals shot since december including a falcon, two crows and another raccoon in palo alto. that growing tent city near san jose is now coming down. the camp near guadalupe river north of columbus park there. "today in the bay's" arturo santiago is live in san jose with what the city is planning to do about it and when they're

planning to do it. arturo, good morning. >> reporter: the situation out here has not improved in the last few weeks. the population of the tent city in fact has swelled to more than 100 people and the city of san jose now has plans to move the encampment out the first week in march. now the site is located along spring street between taylor and heading streets. it's in a large grassy field near the guadalupe river park. the tents are spread out and clustered around trees on the land. the tent city started to grow back in january after state lands along the guadalupe river were cleaned up by caltrans and that displaced the homeless camping in those areas. mayor chuck reed says the people are trespassing here and there are no sanitary facilities and city cannot have people living in unsanitary conditions. nonprofit organizations have come out to the site to reach out to the homeless and offer alternative options for shelter.

according to san jose police department, there has not been a noticeable increase in crime near this tent city. the most difficult task as always will be to find some kind of long-term solution in which the people of this encampment are kicked out for a few weeks or few months and then do not have to return a short time later and create another tent city. we're live this morning in san jose, i'm arturo santiago, "today in the bay." thank you very much. let's check in with meteorologist christina loren. she's got a look at our forecast for today. rising temperatures? >> a little bit. even more so to finish off the week. good morning to you. 34 degrees to start the day in sonoma. 20s at this point yesterday. a welcome change there. good morning, san francisco. taking you down to the south bay, 39 for gilroy. 37 degrees in santa cruz. we're expecting some fog to develop although no reduced visibility to point out. future cast tells the story of the day. between 6:00 and 8:00, thick

giants will look like from 2013 season moving forward all in one day. take a look. annual spring training tradition where they dress up in full uniform posing for what will be used all season long on game programs on the video board and elsewhere. they take photos as defending champs. >> fun to look back and remember what we did last year and remember how special it was. i think it also signifies the beginning of a new season. photo day is the beginning of a new year. >> giants baseball starts now. >> it's also a chance to capture the moments with giants that help make connections with the fans and in this case with sfg productions filming what will be later seen on video board in center field at at&t park. >> this material will go on the scoreboard prior to every game. it gets fans fired up and personalizes players as they are about to take the field at the

supercomputer out of it. >> when could the new one come out? >> it will be before christmas of next year we believe. we have seen delays in these machines before. >> just want to know how much time i have left with my husband. >> not up this early. >> good as gold get an atari at a garage sale. loren christina loren is he talk about weather. four letters. nice. >> what's funny is laura also has kids. it's brent who will want that. 5:17. good morning to you. a good looking day shaping up for outdoor plans. we'll start here. catching a flight heading out of dodge, taking a three-day weekend, we're jealous first of all. no flight days out of sfo this morning. and so far so good when it comes to those low clouds settling in in san francisco. we'll keep tabs on that. 45 degrees to start the day in

"today in the bay's" bob redell joining us live from berkeley pd with more details on this continuing investigation. bob, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. police are trying to get the word out in case you might know something about what happened. this was last friday night around 9:40 and what makes this crime unusual is that the suspects are teenage women. as i mentioned around 9:40 last friday night.

they attacked and attempted to rob two adult women on the edge of the cal campus on dwight way near prospect street. police say they tried to go past three teens and teens sprayed something in the face of one of the women, possibly pepper spray. the girls grabbed the second woman as they tried to run away. punched her in the face. knocked her on the ground. sprayed her and then tried to rob her. fortunately a man who happened to be walking by stopped that robbery and scared the teens away. the women were hurt but not enough to go to the hospital. the teens were seen driving off in a white dodge charger. victims described them as african-american teenaged and one suspect short hair, thin build. another one long hair and pony tail. long skirt and third one braided hair, pink shirt and jean jacket seen 9:40 on friday night on dwight way and prospect street. if you know anything, police would love to hear from you. bob redell, "today in the bay." the fairfield man accused of

kidnapping, raining and killing a 13-year-old girl is expected back in court this morning 32-year-old anthony lamar jones will be arraigned today accused of killing genelle conwaconway-. the bail hear for oscar pistorius suresumed this mornin after a threat outside of the courtroom put the hearing on hold briefly. pistorius was taken back to his cell for security but court is back in session. the delay combined with a late start this morning could mean a bail decision could take longer than originally planned. a decision was expected sometime today. we're still watching to see how these new developments play out. meantime, the lead investigator in the murder case against pistorius now facing attempted murder charges for a 2011

shooting. he's being tried himself. police say hilton botha scheduled to appear in court in may. prosecutors say were unaware of the charges when they put him on the stand yesterday to testify. a tent city in san jose is coming down. the city is taking action before the first weekend in march. "today in the bay's" arturo santiago joins us live in san jose this morning. what will happen to all of the people that are currently living there? >> reporter: they are going to get rid of them. numbers have been steadily growing so much so the city of san jose is now planning on cleaning out the area which includes getting rid of tent city and its homeless population. the site is near the guadalupe river park along spring street. the tents are clustered among the trees that dot the land. the goal is again to have the tent city gone by the end of the

first week in march. the city's nonprofit organizations have been visiting the site and reaching out to more than 100 homeless that are camping in the area offering them sources for alternative shelter. the land is owned by the city of san jose and the san jose airport. mayor chuck reed says people are trespassing and there are no sanitary facilities for them and city cannot have people living in unsanitary conditions. once the area has been cleared, the hardest part will be to keep homeless from setting up camp here sometime in the future. that's where long-term solutions are badly needed and coming up with long-term solutions are quite difficult. this is of note. according to the san jose police department, there has not been a noticeable increase in crime in the area surrounding the tent city. live in san jose, i'm arturo santiago, "today in the bay." >> thank you. 5:34 right now. let's check back in with meteorologist christina loren. you know why? she has nice, good weather for us. >> even if i didn't, i would try to paint it that way.

good morning to you. 45 degrees. i'm a optimist. 36 in napa. 34 in sonoma. the good news is we live in the bay area. it doesn't take much to turn a weather story into positive direction. temperatures today are going to start out more mild and we'll end up a touch more mild as a result. winds will pump out of the west and that means that cool pacific air is going to move onshore just about all day long. windchill factor out there this morning. grab your coat. trade out that umbrella for a pair of nice shades. a lot of sunshine on the way for today. 61 degrees at 4:00 p.m. inland. 60 bayside. at the coast, 60 degrees. stick around. it's one of those weekends where you can hit the beach, you can hit the slopes. california weather is going to hold up for anything you want to do outdoors this weekend. we'll take you to that forecast. 5:35. let's check your drive. good morning, mike. >> from time to time you do see this camera mounted in emeryville while it shakes a bit because of winds coming out of

the west. i heard christina say that. a smooth drive. lower deck. look at the map here. coming eastbound out of the city and over toward treasure island look at the map because we do have an issue as far as the flow of traffic. chp has warned that the eastbound direction has caltrans called out for help with overnight construction. there may be road crew going on there blocking one lane that might be the slowdown that we see over the last five minutes. westbound also that is your commute. it wasn't that heavy from what our view was. we do see slowing up the incline. still smooth off the east shore freeway. mass transit not a problem. b.a.r.t. under the water. muni throughout the city. caltrain not reporting delays. all typical schedules. we're looking at the approach over to foster city and we'll end with view off the san mateo bridge. a good flow of traffic. a lot of company but no slowing over from the east bay. back to you. >> thanks so much, mike. it's 5:36. we'll take you back out to scottsdale this morning for a one-on-one with catcher buster

posey. the president considers weighing in on controversial prop 8 case set to go before the u.s. supreme court next month. good morning. i'm marla tellez. i'll explain what this means for same-sex marriage in california coming up.

good morning. welcome back to scottsdale stadium, spring training home the world series champion san francisco giants. nice ring to it. let's think back to 2008 player draft. you have at the top of it the tampa bay rays and then pittsburgh pirates and kansas city and four teams deciding at the time thinking back now why

didn't we draft buster posey? steady hand. great influence in the clubhouse and perhaps baseball's top player in many regards all around at least he's one of the fan favorites in san francisco. we take time with buster to talk about spring training. take a look. buster posy's impact on the success of the giants goes without question and as one of the team's leaders coming off an mvp season, capped by yet another world series title, he knows that rituals of spring start the process of being ready for opening day. >> feels good. it's nice to have the whole squad out here now. doing some live bp which is not really the hitter's favorite thing to do facing your own pitchers. it's definitely good to be back out on the field. >> reporter: what a difference a year can make in scottsdale between spring trainings. >> for me it's especially different just with last year i was answering questions about my injury from the year before.

it's nice to have that past me a little bit. for the most part you're just trying to do the same thing you did last spring and that's get prepared for the season. >> reporter: a season that will have competition circling the dates that the giants come to town. >> we know we have our work cut out for us in the division. the diamondbacks are a team that can get really hot and play good baseball. i think they play the game the right way. you have obviously the dodgers who are loaded up over the past year and even the rockies are a team and padres. you just don't know. i think it's a division that's probably overlooked a lot because a lot of our games are being played at 10:15 on the east coast and a lot of people don't see us. there's a lot of talent. >> reporter: it's that west coast bias they always talk about. not just in the division but all around major league baseball. the teams will be gunning for the world champs and really you love the steadying influence of

buster posey and think back to the two world series championships and how he helped call those games and bring the best out of the pitchers in those games. remarkable performances for those pitchers. you have to think it goes straight back to buster posy's influence. of course it does. that's the scene from scottsdale. back to you in the studio. >> thank you very much. it's 5:42 right now. the families of as many as 700,000 government employees could be in big trouble if automatic spending cuts go into effect coming up very soon on march 1st. "today in the bay's" tracie potts is live on capitol hill right now where a handful of congressional and white house aides are meeting right now trying to save the day. tracie, good morning. >> they're trying. not clear yet if they're actually making any progress and of course congress is off this week so we won't see hard action until just a few days before these cuts kick in. let's talk about what effect they would have. the vast majority would affect pentagon employees, defense

secretary leon panetta has already said a one day a week furlough for pentagon employees for defense department employees. that means about a 20% pay cut. there are others out there who could be affected by this. going to the airport, tsa workers could lose 9,000 agents. that could mean some long lines at security. 1,000 fbi agents. border patrol agents as well could be lost. food inspectors could be temporarily furloughed according to what we're hearing and a number of other programs. the democrats in particular say would hit the middle class and working families harder. where are we now? behind the scenes aides are trying to work out a deal. some sort of compromise to prevent these $85 billion in automatic spending cuts from happening march 1st. jon? >> tracie potts from washington d.c. thank you very much. there's news the white house this morning is considering urging the supreme court to

overturn california's controversial proposition 8. there are more details with impact on the president's decision. good morning, marla. >> reporter: good morning. the president has one week from today to make the move when it comes to prop 8. if he officially decides to give his opinion to weigh in on this case, his opinion carries significant weight with the u.s. supreme court. back in 2010 here in san francisco when a federal judge declared prop 8 unconstitutional and the california supreme court agreed. since voters approved it in 2008, the initiative which defines marriage as male/female union in the state of california has been stuck in a legal battle. now the president is thinking about weighing in on the debate before the u.s. supreme court does. his administration says the president is considering urging the high court to overturn prop 8. we spoke to a couple people here in the city this morning who agree he should take action including one man who has been with his partner for more than a decade.

>> he should definitely if he has an opinion on it. his opinion sways a lot of people's opinions especially if we look at prop 8 who voted for it in california it was african-american community who backed it here in san francisco as well as the asian community. as a gay man myself, i would hope the president would come out for my partner and i getting married eventually. >> i don't have a problem with them legalizing it. it's a free country. >> reporter: conservative religious coalition known as protect marriage put prop 8 on the ballot in 2008 and getting back to the white house, the president is a known supporter of gay marriage and once again he has until february 28th, that's one week from today, to file what's called a friend of the court brief. the u.s. supreme court will take up prop 8 next month on march 26th. live in san francisco, marla tellez, "today in the bay." >> thank you, marla. 5:45 right now. christina loren is back on the way here i felt like it was cool out there but it was refreshing.

>> i felt the same thing walking out my front door. it smelled good too. we got good air quality. enjoy it. open up the windows in your home and breathe it in. air it out in my case. 4:45. good morning to you. show what you we're working with. i have dogs. this morning you can let your pets out. don't have to worry about frigid conditions that we had yesterday. we're 10 to 15 degrees warmer than yesterday at this time in most cities across the bay area. the clouds are the reason why. the good news as well is we have enough wind to keep low clouds from getting forced to the surface. no thick fog. no flight delays out of sfo just yet. 45 degrees in the city. 40 here in san jose. you're at 44 degrees to start the day in oakland. taking a look at your satellite imagery. we do have a weak disturbance that will come through today keeping onshore flow in place. this is driving in clouds from the ocean and it's going to keep that cool pacific air coming in all day long. however, that cool pacific air means the snow up in tahoe is

going to stick around for alleges while. kirkwood is the big winner. wherever you are headed going to have that opportunity to hit tahoe this weekend, choice conditions. i'm happy to report the central sierra snow pack is at 71% of normal. a little bit more rain on the way late next week. that bodes well for the summer months of course. people like to throw that dirty d word around. drought when we don't get enough rain for several months but this year so far so good. hopefully we'll get a few more storm systems and keep averages up. 61 in livermore. 60 in fremont. 60 in san jose. cooler at the coast. pacifica, 58 degrees for you today. getting into tomorrow, we warm you up looking good for outdoor activities if you have the day off. if not, still going to be nice and mild even when you get off work at 5:00 p.m. temperatures still in the upper 50s. saturday into sunday we're only going to climb into the upper 50s inland. maybe a stray north bay shower. by sunday, great beach conditions. you can hit santa cruz at 65

degrees on sunday. you can't beat that. let's check your drive. good morning, mike. >> good morning. we're looking over here to fremont where the southbound side you see headlights going down past this sign here for auto mall and the truck scales on the northbound side. things are moving nicely. picking up company. no problems as far as speeds on maps. our sensors are showing green through the entire area. this is newark and fremont. south here they marked the crash reported from chp. that southbound right around the fremont exit shows up here as well. what do you know from that? it's on the side of the road. signs are gone making changes there. as far as speeds, no changes to report for 880 down through fremont or 680 through mission as well. the northbound side of 101 shows typical first burst of slowing. just before 6:00 we see the slow right here. no other problems. 87, 280, looking good. we'll get a quick look toward the tri-valley with slowing for livermore westbound. slow. basically out of the altamont pass over toward the dublin interchange.

680 keeps the speed through pleasanton and sunol. bay bridge toll plaza a few more cars as far as company goes. and now the cash lanes are starting to back up. no metering lights yet. typical build here and palo alto will look at flow of traffic for 101 north past willow into the city at the limit for 101 and 280. back to you. >> thank you very much. this morning the oakland a's one step closer to moving to the south bay. "l.a. times" reporting the commissioner's office has given the organization tentative guidelines for potential move to san jose. it doesn't say what those guidelines are. the report does say if the organization can satisfy them commissioner bud selig could let club owners vote on the move. it doesn't guarantee the a's will come to san jose any time soon or at all. a major hurdle giants own the territorial rights in the south bay and they are against the move. in the meantime, at top oakland official is apologizing

this morning. santana accused wolfe of releasing a letter about his wish for a short-term lease extension in oakland to the media but not the city, county or coliseum officials. that was not true. after being told of santana's claim, wolfe fired off an e-mail saying, "it is sad when someone is devoted to harm someone else's reputation." yesterday santana apologized for the mistake calling it human error. hosting 2024 summer games is an exciting proposition. the city of san jose says thanks but no thanks. it doesn't have enough money to make that bid. the mayor says it takes billions of dollars to host the olympics. a price tag too heavy for the city struggling to keep cops on the street. san jose was one of 35 cities to be working on an invite by the u.s. olympic committee to bid for those games. san francisco and sacramento also asked. san francisco mayor eds lee says he wants to establish a

permanent nonprofit organization to work on securing major events like the olympic games. 5:50. coming up, the unusual apology from facebook this morning. >> a big fight in cupertino brewing over hundreds of billions of dollars. we'll take a look coming up in business news.

welcome back, everyone. take a look at all of this snow. the folks in wichita, kansas, waking up to a lot of white stuff there. just imagine commuting in that. >> no thanks. >> i rather not. don't you love california. all right. wake up to a good morning here. we'll have a look at our forecast coming up. it's 5:53. this morning facebook is apologizing to one of its oldest users making her lie about her age. the social media website will not let the 104-year-old

grandmother list her real age. when she tries to type in the birth year of 1908, facebook changes it to 1928. for the past two years the michigan woman has remained 99 years old. facebook now says it is working to fix the problem. >> all right. there was that thriller in manila, the rumble in the jungle and now scott mcgrew says he's frustrated that he can't think of anything to rhyme with cupertino. >> there's a big fight coming next week as apple holds shareholder meeting in cupertino. that fight gets started today when david einhorn will listen anyone that will listen to jump on a phone call. he wants to hear his side of the battle getting apple to release that big pile of money. we're talking billions and billions. einhorn will make that call at 11:00 a.m. apple trying to sidestep his plans with a shareholder vote later in cupertino. apple is not opposed to giving investors a cut of the profits. the fight is largely over how

it's done and it is a bit complex to be honest with you. any time you have people in the south bay fighting over $160 billion in cash it is worth trying to come up with a rhyme for cupertino. do you remember this video? this was conceptual video that google released last month. it would give you directions down to the subway. this is what the video will actually do. goo google releasing this. you will be able to record and get some directions as well. so some slight differences as google gets ready for glasses that i thought were worth pointing out what is conceptual and what you end up tend to be two different things. not that i'm griping about amazing ability to have a camera in your glasses. or a computer for that matter. >> you could have a chance to try them out. >> that's right. we'll see if we can get some.

>> you have to pay $1,500 as well. >> all right. let's see if you'll need the shades today. checking in with meteorologist christina loren. >> you will. the weather is going to be super supertino in cupertino. i'm really pushing it. 60 bayside. at the coast, 60 degrees. the only man who can one up me and scott mcgrew simultaneously is mike inouye. >> too early. we're looking here. oakland smooth drive past the port. bottom of the screen here light. let me show you the bay bridge in general where they are heading. moves smoothly here and slowdown here is for cash lanes. fastrak lanes don't show problems and no metering lights.

still early for that. the build for cash payers here. we'll look at the slowing on the upper deck. the incline itself shows slowing on our maps. no big surprises and the eastbound direction where caltrans crew has gone out to help with some maintenance they need to do as far as traffic control, slowing has cleared. they may clear that lower deck. we'll track that. meanwhile northbound side of 880 slowing a bit through oakland but live look shows you there's no problems. we'll give that to you. >> still ahead, they are being called the new monsters of lake tahoe. the household pet that has biologist and environmentalists worried this morning. the coroner at a san francisco b.a.r.t. station overnight after a body is discovered there. we'll have the latest details.

cleared from the courtroom. the unexpected interruption that

forced oscar pistorius out of his own bail hearing. plus, teens in pink shirts and pony tails that really pack a punch. why east bay police are searching for real life mean girls before they attack again. tent city eviction. hundreds of homeless people pushed out of a south bay park but where will they go from here? it's not as frigid this morning. we do have some fog to show you. where it's the thickest and when it is expected to clear and a mild day to tell you about in your full weather forecast. as i track the effects of that fog on your drive, we have east bay slowdown kicking in. we'll show you where coming up. a live look outside. you can see the sun slowly creeping up on the horizon there over san jose. a nice way to inspire you on this friday eve, thursday february 21st. this is "today in the bay."

good morning to you. thanks so much for joining us. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> i'm jon kelley. good morning, everybody. a developing story overnight in south africa where olympian oscar pistorius remains behind bars as his bail hearing continues to play out during a third day in a row. today pistorius sat calmly looking down at his hands as his defense lawyers picked apart the state's case against him. at one point the magistrate removed himself and pistorius from that courtroom though at this point it's unclear why or if there was a specific threat. pistorius being charged with premeditated murder in the valentine's day shooting of his girlfriend, reeva steenkamp. the discovery in court that got the lead investigator dismissed and facing murder charges himself. a bizarre attack in berkeley. police are searching for
